Default Re: Maps available

FINALLY! We are back up to where we were on DomMap for Dominions 1.
http://www.techno-mage.com/~dominion...humbnails.html

Now if I can get something to automatically do a slight blurring of the maps they will look much better (now that the old Dom1 pixel patterns arent needed). These maps are all playable. The .map file for each one has decent #neighbor and #terrain assinments.

Now for some improvments.

1) multiple download offeres? zip, tga, jpg, map

2) blurring (smoothing the image) of the maps

3) offering games of random crazyness

4) offering the same thing as today but in more sizes

5) offering the same as today but other DomMap preferences (such as less dots and larger blocks of color)

6) drop the DomMap and shift attention to the GIMP rendered maps because they are prettier

7) drop the whole thing and concentrate on getting a web-based server to work

8) give up period

COME ON PEOPLE. Im fishing for a direction here. Is anyone listening? Do I need to make a poll out of it to get some responses?
